BBC News Reports: 30 Minutes Ago, President Trump Issues Shocking Warning About Deporting Billionaire Elon Musk From the U.S. After Tesla’s Tax Breaks Were Removed… More

Just thirty minutes ago, a political tremor rippled across the United States as President Donald Trump made a jaw-dropping statement during an unannounced press conference outside Mar-a-Lago. The former president, who has been ramping up public appearances ahead of the upcoming elections, delivered a fiery warning that has already ignited a media storm.

In a voice laced with frustration, Trump called out billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk by name, referencing Tesla’s recently revoked federal tax breaks—a decision that, according to Trump, could have far more serious consequences than anyone anticipated.

“If he wants to enjoy our benefits, he’s got to play by our rules,” Trump said bluntly. “And if he doesn’t want to do that—then maybe it’s time we talk about whether he even belongs in this country.”

The comment, vague but loaded, left the press in stunned silence for a brief moment before questions started flying. Was Trump actually threatening to deport Elon Musk? The South African-born entrepreneur, who became a U.S. citizen in 2002, is one of the richest men on the planet and a symbolic figure in the American tech dream. The idea of removing him from the country seems not just extreme—it seems unthinkable.

Yet Trump didn’t walk back his words.

“You take billions in American subsidies, then you move manufacturing overseas and try to play global kingpin? That’s not how it works. Not under my watch,” Trump continued. “When you lose the respect of this country, you lose the privilege of staying in it.”

Sources close to the former president claim this wasn’t a random outburst. Trump is said to be “furious” over recent developments involving Tesla’s federal tax privileges, which were quietly removed last week following allegations of offshoring jobs, automation replacing workers, and what some insiders call “strategic political distancing” by Musk himself.

Musk, meanwhile, has remained characteristically cryptic. In a brief X (formerly Twitter) post just minutes after Trump’s remarks, he wrote:

“Interesting times. Watch carefully.”

The post has since gone viral, with millions speculating about what Musk meant and whether this marks the beginning of an all-out war between the two high-profile powerhouses. Some argue this could be a staged distraction ahead of elections; others fear it signals a darker shift in the conversation around immigration—even for naturalized billionaires.

Legal experts have already weighed in, pointing out that deporting a naturalized U.S. citizen like Musk would be virtually impossible without unprecedented legal action. But in the world of politics—especially Trump-era politics—certainty is a rare thing.

As the media and the public scramble to decode what’s happening, one thing is clear: this is more than just a political feud. It’s a battle over power, influence, and the very meaning of who gets to call America home.

And it’s only just beginning.
